The animal was taken to Animal Care Centers of NYC in Brooklyn, where staff members hoped to spare it from slaughter. From there, it was picked up by Stewart and his wife, Tracey, noted animal advocates who then drove the bull to a Farm Sanctuary shelter in Watkins Glen, N.Y., according to the Times.
